Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation renaming an airport after Donald Trump.
Palm Beach International Airport is now called “Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The name change will go into effect on July 1st.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday signed legislation renaming Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) to “Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The bill, which Republicans in the Florida House and Senate passed last month via votes of 81-30 and 25-11, respectively, gives the state the authority to name “major commercial service airports.” It also renames PBI, located roughly four miles from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, in honor of the president.
The name change for PBI would take effect on July 1 if it is greenlit by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Hill has reached out to the FAA for comment.
The Republican Party of Florida touted the impending name change, writing Monday on the social platform X, “Florida is making it official! Welcome to the new President Donald J. Trump International Airport — right in the heart of Palm Beach!”
The Trump organization filed for three trademarks before the legislation was passed.
Ahead of Florida passing its legislation, the Trump family company filed three trademark applications for “DJT,” “Donald J. Trump International Airport” and “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.” These wide-ranging trademarks could ultimately cover watches, jewelry, clothing and more, emblazoned with the airport’s potential new name.
The Trump organization, for its part, has maintained that the president and his family will not receive royalties, licensing fees or financial considerations from the airport renaming.
